		<description><![CDATA[[Originally published in slightly different form in Movietone News 51, August 1976] Nicolas Roeg&#8217;s extraordinary film is, amongst other things, a scathing satire and a science-fiction tragedy. Even the title is multi-layered. The hero is an extraterrestrial visitant who literally falls out of the sky; &#8220;falling to earth&#8221; implies a painful coming to senses; and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[[Originally published in Movietone News 54, June 1977] Billy Wilder&#8217;s chief motives in making the third film version of the 1928 Hecht–MacArthur Broadway smash were plain, and he admitted them: he wanted a box-office hit, badly, and this had all the elements for a 1974 killing. It&#8217;s a buddy story, a nostalgia piece, a celebration [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[[Originally published in slightly different form in Movietone News 55, September 1977] I can&#8217;t recall ever being so disappointed by a film. I was surprised. After all, the black, cruel jokes Chaplin is so fond of tend to appeal to me more than the pathos; the true story of Henri Landru is a fascinating one; comedies of murder have often beguiled me, from [...]]]></description>

What, one wonders, will happen to this child in the next [...]]]></description>

More than puzzles are to be teased out in these two jokey, backward-looking thrillers. Two ultra-British subjects are handled by two very American directors, and whodunit &#8211; or whodunwhat &#8211; is only one of many queries to be resolved. In [...]]]></description>
